  • History of the Gibson County Fair & the Gibson County Horticultural and Agricultural Society
    History of the Gibson County Fair & The Gibson County Horticultural and Agricultural Society Let us pay honor and thanks to The Pioneers of this Great Fair of Gibson County; Truly a progressive testimonial to one of the best Counties in the Great and Friendly Hoosier State of Indiana. The fine unselfish men and women of high purpose, who conceived this Fair were typical Pioneer stock. The same pattern that gave our United States the most wonderful heritage and Spirit under God, of any nation on earth. Each succeeding generation has carried on to uphold the ideals and traditions of these great pioneers. May we of 1955 and the future dedicate ourselves to the unselfish effort of making this our County a still better place for the people who follow us. Gibson County Fair Board Chase Derbyshire, President 1955 Contributors to this project are: Francine Theriac Bettie Ahlemann Bonnie Johnson Gerald L. Osman Princeton Public Library Genealogy Department Princeton Daily Clarion Princeton Daily Demorcate Compiled and edited by: Charlie Woodruff Princeton was rapidly developing by the year 1850, with many interests which included businesses, schools, post office, court house, churches, lawyers, saloons, licensed taverns, blacksmith shop, gun and silversmith, distillery, newspapers, doctors and many more. Gibson County was also growing. King Station, south of Princeton, came into existence with the building of the Evansville & Terre Haute railroad in 1851 and 1852. Dongala, another Gibson county town of the past, was on the Patoka River near the Pike county line and was laid out in 1851 with a public square. The Wabash and Erie Canal promised to make it a real city, but it died with the canal.
